Sourcing: Shimano MTB brake pads M9000 vs M9100

[pedal menace]

Hi All -

I am trying to source brake pads but for the life of me cannot find what I am looking for. What I can ascertain is the following:

Shimano M9000 Callipers: Uses G04ti brake pads (metal)

Shimano M9100 Callipers: Uses K04ti brake pads (metal) (what I have on my bike)

Are these brake pads the same size as I simply cannot cannot find anywhere anyone that stock K04ti brake pads (metal)? I seem to be able to find lots of G04ti (M9000). 

It does look like they are different sized and thus not compatible. Correct? 

Where can one source these? I am always very hesitant to take "non Shimano" pads - On brake pads you take the best!

this tells me thats an "onroad" brake pad...so look for pads for the listed models on there like the R8050 or R7000 or GRX or whatever. this same pad pops up on the shimano site under the R7000 brake caliper.

Shimano K04s is the same thing. look the same too. 

that ti is just for titanium backplate.

confirm with Janos that they really have stock. Usually when I order and they have stock I buy 4 pairs, I've got plenty at home, not all the same ref but all the same size (different materials, but I don't care, differences are minor and you get used to these changes fairly quick)

Tx a million - I had no idea the S just implies non titanium. I guess the ti version is a 1 or 2 grams lighter - not sure why on such a small component will they distinguish on backplates. Unless there is a better cooling affect on titanium?
